"For money?" Xiaobei seemed to understand, but there were still some things he didn't understand. He asked again, "Then … did someone give him money to rush into Hongnong County? Enemy? Who? His family must be exterminated. "
Old Master shook his head. "No, it was when the flood happened that the people were sent to the county to hide. They said that the county was well built and spent a lot of money to protect the county and rush into the village. Most of the people should have entered the city. When they entered the city, all the property was taken care of by Yan Zheng's people, including the livestock, furniture, and discovered money.
Our school originally wanted to retreat into the county, but we found that there were still many things in the warehouse. Moreover, the Hongyuan River had not been breached by the flood, so we were afraid that the children would be in danger. Moreover, this school was built by your family, Yan Zheng, so we boldly guarded the school building and waited for the flood to pass before finding a way out. "
When Old Master said this, his expression was one of helplessness and relief. He pointed to a 'teacher' standing at the door of the warehouse and said, "He went to the county and found that something was wrong. He came back and told us. At the same time, he brought a group of children from other schools. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the local school. Two of the children were almost washed away by the flood. Sigh. "
The teacher introduced by Old Master nodded. He seemed to be afraid of Zhang Xiaobei's group and was somewhat reserved. He only smiled and didn't speak. He didn't have the seriousness of a teacher and looked more like a student who had just left an academy. He was indeed young.
Xiaobei touched his head and ran his hand through his still-wet hair. He said with a puzzled expression, "Is he crazy? Does he think he can hide it? Are the people in the world stupid? Even if the whole county doesn't say anything, our family's quality inspectors will go and investigate the breach. I want to see him. "
"Let's send a message to the capital first. Otherwise, my brother and sister will be worried." Xiaohai's expression was ugly. Although he was young, he usually heard his brother and sister talk about such things. He knew that harming the people was a serious crime, so serious that people would die.
"Okay, let's ask first. Adjust the frequency. Don't let Hongnong County receive the signal," Xiaoyuan suggested.
Soon, the message was turned into a signal and sent out by Xiaobei's people. It was relayed all the way to the capital.
It was also raining in the capital, but the rain was relatively light. It fell sparsely on the surface of Qushui, forming circles of ripples that spread out in all directions.
Li Longji was lying under a large umbrella, watching the rainy scenery of the Hibiscus Garden while watching Zhang Xiaobao busy cooking. This was the only time he could bully Zhang Xiaobao. In other aspects, he was always at a disadvantage. He didn't dare and didn't want to do something like a monarch killing his subject to Zhang Xiaobao.
Firstly, he was afraid that the Zhang Family and the Wang Family would rebel. Who knew how many die-hard loyalists they had in various places? Secondly, and most importantly, he was still waiting for the Zhang Family and the Wang Family to lead the craftsmen to create something that could cover the sky and intercept firepower. Thirdly, he did not want to make too many people happy.
Yes, Li Longji believed that if the news of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan 'dying' was spread out, there would be a lot of people beating drums and celebrating. It was even possible that they would set off firecrackers continuously for a month or even a year.
Therefore, making them cook was the best way to take revenge. This was a problem left behind by history. Who told them to make this habit after they cooked for Gao Lishi?
Moreover, many dishes were not only delicious, but also beneficial to the people. For example, pig offal. Normally, people would not eat it, nor would they raise it, especially cannibalism. The reason was actually very simple. According to the conclusion of the Academy of Moral and Arts, if the handling of pigs and eating pork was not done well, it would spread diseases and cause large numbers of people to die. Therefore, many people did not eat it, and cannibalism was directly prohibited.
For such dishes, as the Emperor, he had to make a demonstration by eating them. The spicy fried intestines he made a few days ago were still very fragrant.
Li Longji thought contentedly. Seeing Zhang Xiaobao busy there, his mood was very good.
What Zhang Xiaobao prepared today was the drunken fish that he had made a few days ago, as well as the freshly made drunken shrimp. Now, he was going to make fish slices, which was also sashimi. He used a small knife that he usually carried on his body for self-defense to cut the fish slices. Each slice was as thin as paper.
After he finished cutting a plate, he used a jade plate to carry it to the table. It was similar to the golden plate of carp. However, the golden plate was too vulgar, so he used jade.
Wang Juan was also busy arranging the seasonings. While she was busy, she muttered in a voice that she could hear, "Prodigal grassland people, all the good traditional things have been destroyed by you guys. When you talk about good things, if it's not Japanese, it's Korean. Let's see how you guys are going to fight this time? What are you going to fight with? "
"Cuckoo, what are you talking about?" Li Longji saw Wang Juan's mouth moving and asked.
"I'm saying that there are still a few dishes missing, so we have to make it two. In the end, we have to boil a seafood soup, or fat head fish soup is also fine. Shark fin is too vulgar, so we didn't make it."
Wang Juan replied very naturally.
Li Longji knew the taste of shark fin. He wanted to say that it was not bad, but when he saw that there were still many dishes, he continued to remain silent.
Zhang Xiaobao made a few more dishes in succession. There were fried fish maw, fried fish skin, boiled fish eyes, dry-fried squid, vermicelli seaweed, oysters with green garlic, sea cucumber soup, and so on. Fortunately, he had come into contact with many dishes in the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make so many dishes.
It was also the first time Li Longji saw Zhang Xiaobao making these aquatic products. He frowned slightly and looked at Wang Juan and asked, "This … Xiao Bao seems … seems to be too familiar with cooking, isn't it?"
"Yes, Xiao Bao likes to ponder. It's delicious. When the Winter Sky River freezes, I'll let Xiao Bao make an all-fish banquet for it to be delicious."
Wang Juan could only explain like this.
"When I go back, I'll let the people in the imperial kitchen think about it. Why are there so few new dishes for me to eat?" Li Longji actually wanted to ask where Zhang Xiaobao got the time to study how to cook. Did he not sleep? He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He was a genius, so naturally, he had the ability to be a genius.
The palace maids waiting on the side knew what was going on. It wasn't that the people in the imperial kitchen didn't have the ability, but they were afraid that the Emperor wouldn't be used to the new dishes and would punish them. Even if they weren't used to the dishes made by Zhang Xiaobao, they had to endure it. At worst, they wouldn't eat it.
The dishes that needed to be cooked were finally done and placed on the table. First, the sashimi was pushed in front of Li Longji. The sashimi had the shortest preservation time and was the last to be cooked. It had to be eaten immediately to taste good.
Zhang Xiaobao also breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the chopsticks and prepared to taste the fresh and smooth sashimi. However, when he dipped the chopsticks in wasabi and salt, without waiting for the rolls, the eunuch Luo Bin hurriedly ran in. He anxiously looked at the Emperor who was eating and gathered his courage to say,
